For a nicely surreal twist on the summer outdoor concert, the Storm King Art Center, an outdoor sculptural garden north of New York City featuring works by the likes of Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Goldsworthy, and Alexander Calder, offer up its annual series. And this year’s lineup doesn’t fail to earn the series’ setting, with The Feelies, Frankie Cosmos, Lee Ranaldo (formerly of Sonic Youth), Porches, and Alex Bleeker and the Freaks carrying its dates through September. The series began this past weekend with Frankie Cosmos and Porches, to be followed by Ranaldo on August 9, and then The Feelies and Alex Bleeker and the Freaks closing it on September 20th.
